Classic backtrack by a wholesale narcissist, Marie Antoinette wannabe, whose voicing of their unfiltered thoughts have damaged their profit outlook.
Minerals Council of Australia chairman Andrew Michelmore - had defended him. "Employees have got used to earning the same amount of money but not putting in the same hours"
I expect no less from the oligarchy, especially a fossil fuel oligarch. Remember, these are the sociopaths who own our lives, from corporations to regulators and governments, and are accelerating the destruction of our planet.
They are telling you what they think of the 99+%. You are not a person. You are cattle to fuel their wealth until you can be replaced or discarded for profit. You only exist to generate their wealth and fuel their excess to greater heights. Their only god is greed. They will not think twice about letting you die if it means more resources and power for themselves; many of them would choose to pull the trigger on mass murder than ever redistributing their wealth.
Believe them when they tell you who they are.
Marie Antoinette was way more of a sympathetic character than this asshole. At least in her case you could explain it away with her being young and sheltered.
Also, the "let them eat cake" line was said by someone else and then falsely attributed to her after her execution.
Not getting off the guillotine list that easy fuck boy
Billionaires are people too and dont deserve death just a bad comme.... Pfffffff I'm just kidding sharpen the blade.
Leave it dull and rusted
We priced blades, but given our current economic situation, we don't think it is a viable option.
What we've settled on is tying a large rock to the end of the rope and just dropping it on him over and over until the job is done.
Retro, I like it
Let's make sure he's just another nearly headless Tim...
Hope he catches a flying mallet to his brainpan
Even without this, he deserves his place with his previous hit "if you want a house, stop buying avocado toast".
I guess he's no "one-hit wonder" and keeps remindings us why he should be put on a certain menu.
That wasn't an apology. He believes people are slaves, the only thing he regrets is getting caught on video saying it out loud.
"Sorry all you poors don't like what I said about how you're getting a little uppity, and you deserve to be homeless if you don't like the pittance I offer you." Sure bud, I totally believe you're super duper sorry about being a complete piece of shit. After all, a couple of days is surely enough time to totally reevaluate your worldview and grow the part of the brain that creates empathy.
Fuck this guy. I hope he gets eaten by a dropbear.
Got one better… take this choad and Money Monster Jim Cramer, shove them in a industrial washing machine with a few dozen bowling balls and put it on ‘gentle cycle’. A few hours kissing Bakelite might give these two what they surely lack, empathy for the suffering of others
I think the news story is not that Tm Gurner apologized, it's that Tim Gurner encountered enough backlash that he felt it necessary to pretend to apologize.
We all know that his apology isn't a sincere recognition of a wrong attitude, or a commitment to change. But it IS noteworthy that he apparently misjudged the public sentiment. What does this tell us? We can say that he probably doesn't give a shit if a bunch of nobodies on Twitter call him a piece of shit. He knew and expected that when he said those things. What changed?
It's not really clear from the article, but my guess is that something almost inconvenienced him. Perhaps he was told that he would be uninvited to some summit where he's on a panel. Whatever got to him, I'd like to know so we can do more of it. It warms my heart to imagine how seething mad he was when he grit his teeth and yielded to the reality that this power dynamic is not exclusively one sided as he so badly believes it should be.
This has been my takeaway with a lot of news the last year or two. As depressing as the headlines have been, I'm starting to see an underline shift in public perception. There's a growing fear in the politicians, celebrities, and billionaires at the top that once thought they were untouchable. They're not the idols they used to be.
They're fantastic with salt and pepper
Sharpen the fucking blade
This guy is an enemy of the people. Simple as that. He should be fired and removed.
I hope everything he eats for the rest of his life has spit in it.
I blame the help, they feed this man, they protect this man while he sleeps, they raise his offspring, theirs is the corruption the keeps this system in place.
You should become the help and "solve" this then. Show them how it's done.
While I agree with the statement, the help are likely wage slaves like us, they may not have better options.
Hard to tell someone to uphold moral values if it means NOT serving this moneycunt, but being poorer in the process.
That said after this little outburst, of his I hope they start looking for better options...
I guess someone got uncomfortably close to him and told him in no uncertain words what would/could happen to him and no amount of €€€ would protect him if he didn’t cut it out
At that point it's just self defense to murder those who would see your family starve.
More likely his board of directors told him that his comments were harming stock value and pissing off shareholders.
Sorry I forgot my mask that day, and you all saw how I really think. I thought now that COVID was over we weren’t doing masks anymore shrug
What we need Mr.Richfuck is more unions and socialism to correct owners attitude
He need to have “I am a rich asshole” embossed on diamond plate and riveted to his freaking forehead
Your daily reminder, if any was needed, that rich people are parasites
Apologies are not enough. Dude should be fired.
out of a cannon into a ravine full of sharp rocks and salt.
Must be a bogan. Bogans are the worst. Disgusting dirty thieves.
If you ever come to Australia, watch out for these bogans. Record them coz I am telling you they will steal whatever they see. Worst people ever!!!!
For those who dont know bogans, here's one for ya.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
One of Australia's richest men has sparked a global backlash after saying unemployment should double to remind arrogant workers of their place.
Speaking during a property summit this week, the 41-year-old said the Covid-19 pandemic had changed employees' attitudes and work ethics for the worse - singling out builders as an example.
He claimed that shift is impacting productivity in the sector, which - combined with tougher regulations - is fuelling Australia's housing shortage.
Shifting attitudes toward employment are also a matter of widespread discussion on social media, giving rise to hashtags like "quiet quitting", a term meant to capture the decision to stop going above and beyond for bosses; and "lazy-girl jobs", which refers to well paying, flexible positions that offer greater work-life balance.
Mr Gurner's comments, which were shared by the Australian Financial Review (AFR) which hosted the summit, have drawn criticism on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), TikTok and LinkedIn.
It sees people on the streets and dependent upon food banks," Mr Wolahan told the AFR.
